maurice lacroix pontos d-date

Maurice Lacroix announces the Memoire 1. The Memoire 1 will be the first mechanical watch with a memory function.The Maurice Lacroix Memoire 1 has a simplistic dial with two hands. One for the minutes and one for the seconds. A disk to indicate the hours. An indication at 3 o'clock reveals the cool secret of Memoir 1: By pressing the button integrated into the crown, the mode changes from "Time" to "Chrono". The hands and the hours disk immediately change their positions. If their previous function was telling the current time, they are now available for the precise measurement of time intervals. When the button is pressed once again, they all return to their positions for telling time. Even when the chronograph is running, it is still possible to shift back and forth between the two modes without losing the information provided by one or the other function.Maurice Lacroix will officially introduce the Memoire 1 at the BaselWorld 2008.You can follow the development of the Maurice Lacroix Memoire1 at this site.

Maurice Lacroix Pontos Decentrique Phases de LuneOkay, that’s the last one for today. Also featuring a moonphase complication the new Pontos Decentrique Phases de Lune speaks in a completely different design language with a strong German accent.Just like the other models in the Decentrique collection, the watch features an off-centered main dial moved in the north-west direction.What is really interesting about this watch is the time display interface. As you can see, the Maurice Lacroix Pontos Decentrique Phases de Lune has only one hand that displays minutes. Hours, date and moonphase indicators are displayed with three nicely decorated disks.This technical marvel has its price, though. The patent-pending ML122 in-house caliber takes so much space that it is packed inside a rather large 45 mm case, which is made of brushed titanium. Together with a black, sand-blasted three-dimensional dial, this model looks absolutely stunning.I wonder, how much Maurice Lacroix will ask for this piece.
